Join our peer support network for directors
We’re excited to present this free, bi-monthly group for directors at any stage of their career. If you’re looking for an open and relaxed space to learn new directing techniques, get support from peers and share ideas, this is for you. At The Rep we are building a community of empowered directors in the West Midlands and we want you to be a part of it!
During these sessions, you will meet other directors to talk about topics affecting your area of practice, read scripts, discuss theatre shows and delve into directing approaches, theory and exercises. We will also give you a discounted ticket to see a show at The Rep after every session.
Led by The Rep’s in-house Associate Director Madeleine Kludje (GrimeBoy, City of a Thousand Trades) and featuring guest workshop leaders across the year, Directors Link Up offers a great place to connect and reflect.
For any questions or queries, please email with the subject line ‘Directors Link Up’. If you need subsistence to be able to attend, please e-mail and we will be able to discuss options.
We want to make this group as accessible as possible and encourage directors with lived experience of D/deafness, disability or neurodiversity to sign up.
Calling all writers from the West Midlands! Would you like professional support and feedback on your script from directors at The Rep?
We're choosing 5 scripts every month to read, and then our directors and talent development team will present you with constructive and helpful feedback to continue developing your work. We'll also signpost key opportunities so you can further hone your craft.
We'll need you to send us a short synopsis of your script, along with an application form, which will be downloadable from The Rep's webpage during set submission windows.
Submissions will open on a month by month basis. Late submissions will not be accepted and you will need to reapply when the following month's submission window opens. We will let you know if you have been chosen.
We welcome scripts from writers working alone, as well as teams and companies. There will only be 5 spaces available per month.
